Detroit sellers searching for flat fee real estate face a crowded market: FlatFeeGroup, Homecoin, Houzeo, Wolverine Flat Fee MLS, FlatFeeJeff, Kermathrealty, Beycome, and more. Every one of them offers some version of an MLS listing for a flat fee.
But there is a critical difference between paying a flat fee for MLS access and paying a flat fee for full-service representation. Here is what that looks like in practice.
MLS-Only vs Full Service: What You Actually Get
| Feature | MLS-Only (Homecoin, FlatFeeJeff) | Full Service (ShopProp) |
|---|---|---|
| MLS Listing | Yes | Yes |
| Professional Photos | You arrange | Included |
| Disclosure Review | No | Managing broker reviews |
| Offer Negotiation | No | Full negotiation support |
| Closing Coordination | No | Through closing |
| Price | $149-$299 | From $4,995 |

Why ShopProp Over Homecoin or Wolverine?
Homecoin charges $149 for MLS access. That is it — you handle showings, negotiations, disclosures, and closing yourself. For a first-time seller, that is risky.
Wolverine Flat Fee MLS and FlatFeeJeff provide similar MLS-only service at slightly higher prices.
ShopProp charges more because you get more: a managing broker with 19 years of experience and 4,000+ transactions reviews your disclosures, helps price your home, negotiates offers, and coordinates through closing.
Buyer Representation in Detroit
ShopProp buyer fees start at $1,995 flat. On a $350K Royal Oak home, a traditional 2.5% buyer commission is $8,750. ShopProp charges $1,995 — you save $6,755.
